Abstract
ACC deaminase producing bacteria can cleave the ethylene precursor ACC and thereby lower the level of ethylene in stressed plants. This reduces the inhibitory effect of high ethylene concentrations and allows plants to develop a better root system. Classical triple response bioassay is used to evaluate the presence of ethylene in a plant, to demonstrate whether the ACC deaminase producing bacteria is able to reduce the endogenous ethylene production or not.
